To the Mountains with Dad

The kids had no school and Ken had no work. Being the awesome dad that he is he took all 5 kids up to do some hiking in the mountains.

Caden and Chase, kings of the snow hill.

We figured there would be some snow but not quite this much. Luckily, it was only on part of the path.

Kailyn

Gorgeous! This is why we moved to Colorado.

Ava and Jordan

Yeah!, no more snow. (Chase, Caden, Kailyn)

Jordan put some of her left over lunch in her pocket and would stop every so often and...

...share it with Ava.

So sweet!

Trying to break up the ice.

Jordan's pine cone gun.

The kids loved this bridge. They would throw sticks on one side and then run to the other side to see them float down the river.

Can't get enough of this.

Jordan was not too keen on lunch, so she choose to eat just some graham crackers and goldfish. So nutritious.

On a different day, Ken took the kids out to fly kites, so I could finish up dinner.
